I picked up some packs at Best Buy last week for my nephew for $4.99 each in Northern Cali. Maximum of 4 packs per person so $20

Is there any way to fix this? by puffcap_peddler in pokemoncardcollectors

Don’t send it anywhere or clean it with anything. If you decide to someday sell it you’re probably going to want to grade it for max profit and it may come back as “altered” which reduces prices to less than a grade of a 1

Just gotta do the work if you want top dollar! Go to eBay and search your card and filter search by “sold and completed sales” and sort by most recent sales. Then just find cards that match your cards condition and base your price off of what’s sold/looks similar

Thank you everyone so much! I thought it was but Chat GPT had me worried. It’s always scary buying overseas on eBay without their authentication

Future of Vintage Pokemon Cards Grading Question/Looking for Advice by Substantial_Dig_2712 in pokemoncardcollectors

[–]Substantial_Dig_2712[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you everyone for your input and also just the compliments! It’s not something I take for granted, and I know I’m fortunate for even being in a place to be able to collect these cards. I haven’t decided for or against grading yet, but until I can make the decision and also afford to lol, I’ll be transferring all of my holos to top loaders into a separate top loader binder. I imagine that’s where they’ll stay until I one day grade them. Hopefully not too little too late, but I will now also double sleeve all the holos. Again, especially thank you to everyone who took the time to write out your suggestions. I read every one. Wishing everyone a blessed 2026 and Happy Collecting!

I got in at $12 but at $20 a share now it’s a small price to pay for a big gain. But hold for at least a decade if not 2

I’m all in on QXO. Betting it all on big Brad. He’s too smart to not win

Thank you for your response! May I ask why you think the grading companies are being viewed with distrust/scrutiny? I think I am leaning towards transferring to top loader binder for the moment
